Karin Bojs: Mothers and fathers from Mexico came from different places

Published on

If you ask a Mexican what “ethnic group” he or she belongs to, the answer is that the vast majority are mixed.

On the one hand, they think they have roots in the European colonies that have flowed into the country since the early sixteenth century. On the other hand, it was preserved from the indigenous peoples of the Aztecs, Maya, Olmecs, and Sapotecs, as well as from other cultures that lived in Central America before Columbus and his successors from Europe.

At least ninety different languages ​​have been recorded from Native Americans. But they die.

Only six percent of the population understands such languages, and only a few percent speak their first language. Spanish is the first language of almost the entire population.

Previous DNA tests It has been shown that the roots of the population are about half American and half European, a small element, perhaps five per cent, from Africa.

But early DNA analysis examined mixed DNA, called nuclear DNA, or autosomal DNA, inherited from our father and mother.

Now an international research team has examined DNA from a straight line called mitochondrial DNA.

And published analyzes Jeans Journal This week, it gives a new dimension to the mixed origins of Mexicans. Results show that 90% of Mexican mother documents are from Native Americans. Two percent of maternal lines come from Africa, so female African slaves are the norm.

The lines of the ancestors look completely different. More than half are European, mainly from southern Europe. A small proportion are Native Americans and a small percentage are from Africa.

It was self-evident The approximately 250,000 European colonists who flocked to Mexico were mostly men. But the news is that their genetic mark is becoming very prevalent in today’s population.

It is noteworthy that while the Spanish “mother tongue” is almost completely taken over, various American mother tongues are now being destroyed.

This development may be a reflection of what happened here in Europe 3,500-5,000 years ago. It was then that we gained Indo-European culture, Indo-European languages ​​and total domination of the Indo-European ancestral lines. At the same time, the mother lines from the former hunters and the peasantry remained largely unchanged.

From Mexico This week came another big news story about the former population. It is published in the magazine from New Mexico, on the other side of the U.S. border Science.

An American research team has found about 60 footprints from humans. It looks like a sack that encloses with a drawstring. Researchers have interestingly shown that prints were made 21,000 to 23,000 years ago. Thousands of years before the current picture when America had a population!

The question of when the American continents were first inhabited by humans is highly controversial and debated.

On the one hand, there must have been a land bridge over Beringia, now the Bering Strait, which was made when the ice age was the coldest. On the other hand, the glaciers must have melted a lot, so you can go south through the land corridors.

And two DNA analyzes Archaeological finds indicate that the migration took place about 17,000 years ago.

But occasional archaeological finds indicate a wave of early pioneers. Like the first pioneers in Europe of Homo sapiens found in the Bacho Kiro cave in Bulgaria, they were completely dead.

Or they left a small piece of DNA in Native Americans.

We are talking about 21,000 years or 17,000 years – mothers in Mexico have a very long history in the United States.
